Research news from BBSRC
23 April 2007
The following stories appear in the April 2007 edition of Business, the quarterly magazine of research highlights from the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC).
Extreme bacteria could help against parasites
Scientists at the University of Sheffield are teaming up with European colleagues to study the microbe Sulfolobus solfataricus which thrives under extreme conditions – growing in volcanic hot springs. Using an interdisciplinary systems biology approach the scientists are investigating how temperature changes affect the microbe's protein activity and cellular metabolism. The project, part of the Systems Biology of Microorganisms research programme, could lead to the development of 'extreme enzymes' functioning at higher temperatures or new antibiotics against human parasites that undergo temperature shifts when they infect the host.

Nano-clutter stimulates stem cell bone growth
Stem cells can be encouraged to develop into bone-forming cells by growing on a disordered surface, opening new ways of promoting bone growth in patients. Scientists at the University of Glasgow have found that stem cells grown on smooth or orderly patterned scaffolding surfaces do not differentiate, but on a surface with controlled disordered features they will develop into bone-forming osteoblasts without the need for chemical stimulants. Implants with imprinted nano-scale disorder patterns could improve hip and knee replacements, reduce healing time and pave the way for biodegradable implants without the need for removal.

Poppy stops inbreeding with phosphate
Research at the University of Birmingham has uncovered how the field poppy prevents self-pollination by using a common 'enzyme switch', phosphorylation, as one of its chemical triggers. When a flowering plant is pollinated the germinating pollen develops a pollen tube which grows through the stigma and female tissues to the plant's ovary. By adding phosphate to key enzymes involved in pollen tube development the poppy stops the pollen tube from growing. Better understanding of self-pollination mechanisms could help us regulate plants' self-pollination control, leading to improved breeding programs.

Protein tunnel helps bacteria to hide
Bacteria can hide from the immune system under a cloak of carbohydrate molecules, but a research team led by scientists from the University of St Andrews has discovered how the bacteria transport the carbohydrate molecules out through the cell membrane. A hollow protein called Wza functions as a tunnel through the membrane, letting the carbohydrates out onto the surface. The discovery could make it easier to target the carbohydrate transport and treat bacterial diseases like meningitis.

Mars Curiosity Takes Myspace Photos
Mars Curiosity recently released a series of self portraits that could rival most Myspace profile pictures.
Conspiracy theorists went ran amok when the photos came out, since they seemed to be taken from "too far away" to have been a self portrait. The Curiosity Team came forward to explain how the rover was able to take such wide snapshots of itself.
The rover uses a camera called Mars Hand Lens Imager or MAHLI to take several high resolution photos of itself, which are stitched together to create the images that were released. For example, in the photo below a total of 55 high res photos were taken to create it:
The camera also sits on a seven foot long robotic arm that extends away from the rover body. The MAHLI camera was placed on the rover to take microscopic quality photos of Martian details, like the shape of the grains of sand sitting on the surface of the planet. While the news might sadden the conspiratorial community, have hope!
The Curiosity mission might be slated to only run for two Earth years, but NASA scientists say it could easily run for two decades. Feasibly this could mean that the Mars Rover could even catch a ride back home with the first manned mission to Mars which scientists say is just 15 years away.
NASA's Doug McCuistion says it is his personal hope, if not that of the entire Mars team NASA, that humans will touch down on the Red Planet in the 2030s or 2040s.
The only thing that might stop the rover from coming home would obviously be weight as the rover rolls in at just over two tons, and those Myspace angles aren't enough to fool NASA into picking it up without checking first.
What do you think Nation?
Should the rover get a chance to come home with the first manned crew, or should he stay out there investigating the great unknown? Let us know in the comments below!
Ok… I might be completely oblivious of how this picture was taken but… I cant see any arm or extremity from the rover going out of frame which would be handling the camera to take a picture of this ange…
Maybe it threw the camera up in the air to snap the shot.
Well it is "55" images. Maybe it just made sure the arm did not make it in the pictures.
what is that Utah. S:}D
It may be sentimental, but it really isn't worth bringing home. It wouldn't serve any purpose on Earth, or at least, not any purpose that can't be served by just making another one here, which would be considerably cheaper than bringing Curiosity back.
They may as well just fix it up a bit, give more energy, so it can continue to function after we leave. Then, once we have a permanent Mars base, we could keep it there if we want.
As long as he doesn't start doing duckface, I'll be okay with this.
He obviously has his shirt off, though. :
Next photos we see he'll be throwing a gang sign, fanning out a stack of $10 bills, or showing us his 9mm Handgun.
…They did give him a gun, right?
Link to original picture, please? And one to article explaining how the picture was taken?
>Rover sent to Mars to take pictures of tiny granules of sand.
>Takes pictures of self on Mars.
>Dbag Rover -
FFS if you post about not seeing an arm http://www.google.com and type in photo stitching and go back to unraveling election conspiracies.
Number 5 is ALIVE!
it's gaining consciousness and soon it will have emotions. mars Wall-E.
Screw that. First man crew will trick it out on Mars and shoot it off to its next adventure. haha
I would love to pick up Curiosity from Mars. Maybe even stay a while to take in the local decor.

Hi, so I'm looking for a fern that will grow in a hot (80f+), humid (100%) greenhouse under hydroponics (moving water w/plenty of oxygen). I really like rabbit's foot fern and staghorn fern but a nice lush Boston fern does sound nice too. Any of these will do okay in hydroponics? I bought a generic fern from home depot but it rotted to mush in the water and made a huge mess. I think it was a boston or a maidenhair, not too sure. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Aquatic ferns/ mosses would be you best choices . They require constant sources of water. most terrestrial ferns particularly the epiphytic ones you mention MUST dry out regularly Good luck gary |

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"This invitation is so beautiful and timeless. The gold print and the paper were of high quality. I would recommend these invitations. Loved how it said dinner and dancing in the script."
"I ordered bridal shower invitations. I was so impressed with the Design and quality! I just ordered and received the wedding invitations. The colors, design and the quality so beautiful!! I would definately reccomend Wedding Paper Divas!!!"
"Great quality and even better customer service. The service of having someone check and proof the personalized product gave me a huge sigh of relief!"
"I actually used this card as an insert with our wedding website info. It is wonderful and obviously matched our invites."
"I wanted to add the date to this reception card, but wasn't able to make it fit nicely by typing it in to the text boxes. I used the live chat feature to ask about formatting options, and the representative told me it would be no problem at all. Sure enough, I typed my request into the message box, and the designers made my changes flawlessly. The paper quality is excellent. It has a substantial, high quality feel. It is unparalleled by DIY kits. Even my local printing company couldn't match the paper quality- that's why I stuck with WPD."

I like being alone. I like my thoughts to be heard without drowning in the constants chatter and opinions of others.
I like waking up to an empty house and playing the same songs I've been listing to all week on repeat (FKA Twigs new album).
I like waking up early to eat breakfast and then going right back to sleep.
I like wasting a few hours of the day on an old TV series I've committed to watching after the hype has died down a bit (The Walking Dead).
I love wishing I could just go back for a bit but then realize how much I rather just stay where I am.
I spend my day wanting to make better eating choices and maybe put on those cute workout clothes I insisted I would use but, always somehow falling victim to the easy to reach carton of ice cream.
I think pizza, ice cream and cupcakes are in fact a food group and a balanced meal. I spend my money on absolutely nothing (I'm the worst at managing money). The only living creatures I can truly relate to are cats and thus being a cat lady is my contingency plan for my life.
I spend most of my free time scrolling through Tumblr, Instagram and watching sappy romance anime. I come up with shitty trendy tattoo ideas that my faithful friends thankfully shut down.
I live in one of the biggest most exciting cities and yet, I feel absolutely alone and bored.
I moved to New York to find something...and I guess I'm still trying to figure out what that is exactly.
I have absolutely no idea what I want to do with my life... and for the first time I say that with a smile on my face and very little worry in my heart. I guess I'm going to stop trying to think I can control anything and just let life show me the next step. Ignorance is bliss?
"Life is like a long hallway of doors, you peek through a few and try this and that..." till you walk through the one you are meant to? (Not sure a whisky drinking Mexican Cowboy said something along these lines the other day).
I always think I'm right. I'm stubborn, hard headed and sometimes stand behind things even I know are wrong just to be right. I hate being told what to do or sometimes told anything at all. I dislike most things and even more people. But secretly I know I love everyone.
People amaze me, frighten me and most of all intrigue me.I love to learn, to be proven wrong and to laugh.

The Chancellor is forced to comment on the patronising image in every broadcast interview.
Osborne has failed to design the cap in a way that will advance structural reforms to housing and wages.
Party's decision could lead to backbench rebellion.
The UK is far more reliant than other European countries on social security spending to reduce child poverty.
"This is the Budget that confirms people are worse off under the Tories."
The Chancellor's offer to the over-65s is rational but crude politics: they vote more than any other age group.
A summary of George Osborne's fifth Budget.
Osborne should change the words we use to describe our taxes: National Insurance is Earnings Tax and Jobs Tax.
Including the level of the new welfare cap, another rise in the personal allowance, a deficit trap for Labour and some surprises.
The party says "It's the same old Tory con – giving with one hand while taking away much more with the other."
We should actively encourage fathers and grandparents and ensure that they too have the social support to engage directly in the care of children.
The Chancellor needs to make it clear how national policy on jobs, housing and taxes will improve voters' personal situations.
The Foreign Office minister represents all of the groups the party needs to win over: women, ethnic minorities, northerners and Muslims.
On half of the 20 key tests of economic success, Britain is faring very poorly.
Rather than token announcements, the Chancellor needs to give much more meaningful power and autonomy to cities.
The parliamentary alliance between the the centre-right and the centre-left means the increase in the number of eurosceptic MEPs will have a largely symbolic effect.
Lord Oakeshott and the liberal Centre Forum are demanding a cut in the National Insurance threshold, rather than another cut in income tax.
The Tory Foreign Office minister backs Michael Gove and produces mock frontpage with the headline "Number 10 takes Eton Mess off the menu".
After four years of empty rhetoric, the best the Chancellor could do was to recycle an announcement from 2012 with a commitment to fewer homes.
The social consequences of inequality, such as reduced life expectancy and worse mental health, cost the equivalent of over £39bn every single year.
Just 15 per cent earn enough to pay the higher rate. Osborne is right to focus on helping the low-paid.
There was never a pure, unsullied left, seduced and corrupted by a power-hungry right.
Just as an independent Bank of England has helped ensure monetary stability, so a more powerful OBR could ensure fiscal sustainability.
The Labour leader is increasingly convinced not just of the moral and economic case for tackling inequality but also of the political case for doing so.
In the Ukraine, the Middle East and the eurozone, authority increasingly lies with elites, rather than elected representatives.
We need to boost Europe's competitiveness, avoid a race to the bottom on skills and wages and ensure EU migrants contribute to our economy and our society.
With Miliband as leader, Benn finally felt at home again in the party he served for so long.
"If you can plan for war, why can't you plan for peace?"
The Labour giant died this morning at his home in west London.
Shadow chancellor says 10p tax rate would benefit two-thirds of married couples, while tax allowance would help just one-third.

I have three chairs that I love sitting at the peninsula in my kitchen. however, the chairs are too high. There's about four inches of space between the seat of the chair and the underside of the granite overhang. How do I cut down the legs of the chairs so that an adult could sit comfortably at the peninsula? Is there an ideal amount of space that should be between the seat and the counter? TIA |
Follow-Up Postings:
4" or so? More important is the comfort of the height of the seat to the countertop. Seat too low causes the elbows to be too high. Sit at a comfortable table/desk and measure seat to top distance. Use that for shortening the stools. To shorten the stools, do not measure from the ends of the legs up. Too easy to make a mistake. Determine the new leg length and lake a story stick of that length. Be sure to cut the correct angles on each end. Then, mark the two outside surfaces of each leg---keeping the correct positioning of the story stick. Then, mark the inside surfaces. All the four lines on each leg should meet at the correct angle to now cut off the amount necessary. Be sure to allow for casters/etc. |
- Posted by bobsmyuncle (My Page) on Sat, Aug 13, 11 at 20:05
I can answer this by saying the average chair seat height is 18" and the average table top height is 30" +-1" is generally accepted. So the distance from the seat to the top surface should be about 12" Anything shorter than 6" from the top of the seat to the bottom of the apron is generally considered too little thigh room. I measure up from the bottom of each leg while the chair is sitting on a known flat reference surface. |

Sure there were some atrocities there always are but there were a lot of large military battles between armies which accounted for most of the casualties I suspect eg Shiloh

Yes there is they have tons of oil money.
charibdis commented on the blog post Another Change of Party in Europe as Crisis Continues
It seems to me the mistake these governments made was insuring all the losses the banks incurred. This increased the deficits the countries were running and now some or many can't pay. Not suprisingly if these countries want to borrow more money they are going to have to pay higher interest rates. If they default and devalue there currency any imports in the future (oil,food,consumer goods will be more expensive).

What austerity??? The US government spent 3.6 trillion fiscal 2011, the most ever up from 3.4 trillion fiscal 2010. Last I looked unemployment still is at 9%. That spending's really working…

charibdis commented on the blog post Greek Default Almost Assured
Most people in the US aren't hungry; have you seen the obesity rates? Regarding Greece you can't spend what you don't have, at least not forever. It seems like most of the commenters here are upset that Germany et al are putting conditions on keeping the loan spigots turned on. Who can blame them if it costs 58% up front to insure the debt?
charibdis commented on the diary post A Mother's Plea for Sasha and Malia: No Tar Sands Pipeline! by Daphne Wysham.
A "carbon bomb" really?? Get real people; energy is what keeps things moving; and the world is for the forseeable future is going to generate energy with combustibles.

Do all you naysayers and Obama haters really want more Republicans in congress and in the White House? So he hasn't been as progressive as you want. Get over it and get behind him!! I feel certain that the alternative is even less palatable to you.

charibdis commented on the blog post Democrats Groovy New Plan to Cut Social Security: Don't Call It "Cuts"
Folks should save money for retirement; don't assume that the government is going to support you when you retire. You should start saving right away when you start working; you get more compounding of the interest the longer you are invested. If you're near retirement age, don't have your money invested in instruments that are volatile and might decrease in value abruptly. Be responsible (as much as possible) for your own finacial security. Others are not looking out for you (and really should they?).
charibdis commented on the blog post Manhattan DA Subpoenas Goldman Sachs Over Mortgage Bonds
What law did Goldman break exactly? Sure they may have sold some lousy investments to clients and bet against these investments with their own money, but the buyer should beware. This isn't even remotely new. Michael Lewis wrote extensively about "jamming" bonds in Liar's Poker back in the 80′s. If you are an investor in an instrument that you don't understand well, like say complex mortgage bond simulators, you are a FOOL.

Austerity?? What austerity?? We've run the highest deficits ever by a large margin the last 3 years; spending is at levels of GDP well above historical averages, and all we've gotten out of it is 8.8% unemployment and 1.8% growth the last quarter. The spending hasn't worked guys!!

I usually lurke here but wanted to check in. We had a F1 tornado here last Thursday. Town is devestated. Our yard is wiped out, lost our sheds, my greenhouse and most of the garden. I had 4 pepper plants (Nagas I think) from seed Bruce sent me. They did not flinch or bend!!!Tough little buggers!! I have staked up some other peppers and tomatoes to see if they will recover.
We just got power back early this morning, waiting for the insurance adjuster so we can start the massive clean up...Our house only had minor damage. |

Good luck with the clean up effort. Good to hear you are safe and only suffered minimal damage. Hopefully by the time you harvest those peppers, things will be getting closer to normal. |

Thanks peppernovice.., Insurance adjuster will be here Saturday. Anxious to start clean up. Had more storms today so I did not have a chance to check on my survivors in the garden. This sucks. |

I think any ride that makes me cry is a bad one...
Therefore, Alien Encounter was one horrible ride.
Host of the Neverland News Podcast
"Everyone has heard of Ford cars. But have they heard of Henry Ford, who started it all? Walt Disney World is in memory of the man who started it all, so people will know his name as long as Walt Disney World is here."
I think any ride that makes me cry is a bad one...
Therefore, Alien Encounter was one horrible ride.
"It's too late, coward."
honestly, i like stich and stuff but i think he has taken over disney world. if it was all started by a mouse, why are they now making stich ear hats?
i never rode it because I was always too scared to. I don't know if it should have been replaced or not, but stitch in my opinion is terrible and it should be torn down and replaced with something totally different
I am a HUGE FAN of stitch, hence my name. I talk like him (I do REALLY GOOD impersonations). I act like him, I am a total goofball, and I am somewhat destructive. I loved and have sen all 4 movies, I have a HUGE collection of Stitch Pins, and just idolize Stitch.
The ride left me shocked. I was so repulsed by it, it was horribly done. I had never encountered Alien Encounter, but I saw YouTube Videos of it, and THAT attraction is like 10 times better. I haven't boycotted it, but I really don;t care much for it. Stitch is a trouble maker, but where is the "Great Escape?" I see the animatronic, and love it, but other than that, the ride is not to my liking.
I always loved the ride. It was the only ride I have been on that was actually scary. I thought stitch would make it even cooler, but of course it had to be at least a little bit kid friendly and it really took out the fun. At least they didn't take out the whole set up!
What would the world be like with out WDW??
I never really enjoyed Alien Encounter. It was very loud and frightening especially for the younger guests.
There's a great big beautiful tomorrow
shinning at the end of everyday!
Add me to the list of those who miss AE.
I thought it was very creative and unique. The problem seemed to be that so many kids were "talked" into getting on it, and left in tears. I am sure that Disney did not feel that this was presenting a good image.
I agree, AE should have been placed in MGM / Disney Studios/ Disney Hollywood....whatever today's name is. LOL
Stitch just misses the mark.
I really enjoyed Alien Encounter, but I can see why it was taken out. Stitch is far more kid friendly. I don't despise Stitch like some folks do, but it's not on my must do list like Alien Encounter was.

That's one of the reasons why attractions like AE and Mr. Toad get replaced with Stitch and Pooh, because they sell better than Skippy and Moley. Walt himself said that this project will "never be completed" and always changing, so I understand attractions come and go, but I feel that AE was pulled too soon. Personally, I thought AE was ok, wasn't all that great, but still a neat attraction that was definately one of a kind. The thing I really loved about this attraction, was that it was an original story with original characters created just for the attraction, and not based off a movie. Now I know that sounds weird, but I like those attractions that have their own story that we're not familiar with and experience it in a new way, rather than on the big screen first, and then other mediums and merchandise and then it's own attraction or show. Another good example of an attraction gone bad: Countdown to Extinction, now known as Dinosaur, tried to be tied into the movie and made the attraction less appealing IMO, but not as much as Stitch's version of AE.
Such a great ride.
If you search "Alien encounter magic kingdom" on youtube, you will find a 9 min. video of the entire ride.

Fenlon Enjoys Hibs Efforts
Hibs get a fillip ahead of the Scottish Cup Final by beating their derby rivals
Hibs manager Pat Fenlon was full of praise for his players after they came from behind to beat Hearts 2-1 at Tynecastle today in the early kick-off game. Hearts took the lead when Darren Barr scored on the stroke of half-time. However, Leigh Griffiths was on hand to deliver a superb equaliser from a free-kick just after the break and Ross Caldwell's coolly taken goal in the 90th-minute secured all three points which took Hibs above their rivals in the SPL table.Fenlon said: "To get a sucker punch like that so late on after playing so well and dominating the first half, the character they (the players) showed in the second half to play against them as well as we did was fantastic. We played so well in the first half and had all of the chances and then a sucker-punch goal. That sometimes can knock the stuffing out of players but I said at half-time 'go and win the game'. Credit to every one of them, to a man, they were fantastic. We need to believe in ourselves and eradicate mistakes. It's a great day. I'm thrilled for the supporters. That's what it's about today as we haven't won here for a while against Hearts. We've turned the tide a little bit and that's more for them than for anyone else."

What about Semi-theism and Semi-atheism? Can these concepts better express our known and experienced reality? My answer is "yes". Such a view of God is multi-dimensional and takes into account at least three levels of God-analysis, namely God-theology, God-talk and God-truths. We can start with God-theology, the traditional "Queen of the Sciences" in the context and thinking of the West's intellectual history.

Koula Trial Could Wrap Up By Middle Of Next Week
Jurors at the Eric Koula murder trial may be seeing light at the end of the tunnel...
Thirteen days into the La Crosse County trial, they've been told that the defense is likely to call its last witness on Thursday. And after the D-A has a second chance at some witnesses, closing arguments could happen early next week.
Judge Scott Horne says the jury would be sequestered until it reaches a verdict...and if the discussions last more than one day, the jury could meet until 9 p-m on any given day. Koula is on trial for the shooting deaths of his parents over two years ago. The judge kept his schedule open for the trial through June 29th.
Watchdog Group Calls for Political ReformsIt would only take a little political will to make monumental shifts in campaign regulations. From Wisconsin Common Cause, Jay Heck has some ideas for making needed reforms Heck says, with legislation already written for all three reforms, it would take a matter of days to pass all three were the governor to call for a special session of the legislature. Koula's Alibi Is Not ShakenTwo days of questioning on the witness stand did not shake Eric Koula from his position of innocence in the shooting deaths of his parents. During testimony on Tuesday, Koula did say that failing to tell police about signing his father's name to a 50-thousand dollar check might make him appear guilty. Prosecutor Gary Freyberg (FRY-berg) also accused Eric Koula of steering police away from the main suspect...Koula himself...by faking the threatening note which said 'Fixed You': Koula became emotional at times on Tuesday, but mostly he challenged the prosecution's questions and repeated standard answers about his actions around the time his parents were killed. |
Forensic Expert Explains Pro Killer Theory At Koula TrialA forensic expert for the defense believes that the murders of Eric Koula's parents were the work of an 'organized do-er'... Max Scott of Colorado does not use the term 'hit man,' but he argues that the lack of physical evidence and the skill of the shooter suggests that an experienced killer committed the murders at Barre Mills two years ago. Scott also suggests there could be two shooters, because the bullets that killed Dennis and Merna Koula may not have been from the same gun. The defense has argued throughout the trial that Eric Koula hardly ever fired guns, except to shoot at rabbits in his yard. Harter Veteos Kwik Trip ResolutionLa Crosse Mayor, Matt Harter, has notified the city council that he has vetoed a resolution approving Kwik Trip's Development Agreement. In the letter, Harter stated that it is not in the best interest of society for the government to grant subsidies to private projects. Harter says every day, in La Crosse, people go to work improving and developing. Some of these improvement and development projects are large, some are small , and not all receive subsidies or reimbursement of tax dollars. The Mayor adds that it is not in the best interest of society for our government to grant subsidies to private projects, large or small. |

Its impressive that you were able to go 290K miles. Can you tell us what you did to prolong the life that long? Also, pls. note if the stuff you did were something that you did yourself or if you had to go to a mechanic to have it done.
I think this would be very interesting to other members as well.
Thanks -
sweetrats Posts: 7We bought our caravan new from the dealer, by 2001 we were having problems with brakes that Midas repaired and then re-repaired and re-repaired etc. When we got tired of that game we took it to the dealer and requested a brake check (2002) and were told brakes were fine. In 2003, still complaining about brakes, we were told that pads were not separating. Replaced the pads and resurfaced the rotors. But by 2004, the dealer decided to replace the master cylinder; then this week (2005) when we took our vehicle in for a 30000 mi check (10000 mi late) the dealer replaced both rear wheel cylinders and bled the hydaulic system and replaced the pads and shoes as well as the rearbrakes and machine drums. The brakes have always squeeked as if they were worn even when new. They finally have stopped squeeking after 5 yrs of that horrid noise. I sure hope that is the end of that story.
In addition to the brake issue, we had brought our van in (2003) for a leak in the tranny(along with the brake prob), which the dealer fixed at a $550 charge for replacing the solenoid and oil gaskets and refilling the fluid. Now once again at our recent check we were told that the tranny and lines were leaking and they replaced the transmission solenoid pack, valve body and lines. In addition, I was told that the serpentine drive belt was frozen so they also replaced that along with the tensioner. (a quick internet search revealed that it is an extremely common occurance for the serp belt to slip off or shred, no mention of freezing (in fact there is an entire website dedicated to this issue with over 3000 complaints)). This time it cost us $1800 for repairs. At least they didn't charge us to fix the recalled clock spring issue.
My question is, am I being screwed????? Seems like the same problems keep getting repaired and the costs just keep going up. BTW here is a link to a website dedicated to dodge tranny problems http://www.aei.ca/~gregoire/claude.html -
johnbender Posts: 17Hello. I have a 2001 Chrysler Voyager and about a month ago I had the front brakes and rotors replaced because they were grinding really bad. Well last week they started grinding again. This time the grinding isn't as harsh, but it is still noticeable. So checked out both the front brakes and the back brakes myself before taking it back to the shop and the brakes and rotors looked just fine. So, I took the van back to the shop and they went ahead and inspected the brakes and they couldn't find anything wrong either. The back brakes and front brake pads look just fine, there is no sign of wear on the rotors either. They couldn't understand why the brakes were still grinding and said to bring it back in if it keeps grinding and they will look at it again. Anyway, to make a long story short, the brakes are still grinding and I wondered if anyone else had this same experience. The shop that I took the van to is very reputable and I have never had any problems with them in the past, so I know they did the job right. Besides the fact that I checked the brakes out myself and couldn't find anything wrong. By the way, I do not have ABS brakes on the van, just normal brakes. I checked other post boards and I found out that some models of vans actually have two sets of brake pads on the front brakes, (one set on the outside and one on the inside) so I checked the owners manual but it mentioned nothing about this being the case. When I checked the brakes, it never occured to me that the van may actually have inside brake pads as well, so I never checked. Does anyone out there know if this van has two sets of brake pads like that. If so, that may be the problem, they may need to replace the inside pads. Or if anyone else out there has any suggestions, I would appreciate the feedback.

dustyk Posts: 2,926First have to know if the repair shop used factory brake components or aftermarket. Also, did they resurface the rotors or give you new ones?
I've run across this problem in the past (not on a Chrysler mini-van) and found that some shops that lathe cut rotors sometimes either ran the cutting speed too high or had a dull cutter. Factory supplied and most aftermarket "new" have the surfaces ground with a stone as opposed to cutting with a lathe tool. I've heard these be noisy for a while until the pad smooths the really rough parts out.
Pads can sometimes be noisy depending on their composition. Some full metallic pads are noisy.

sweetrats Posts: 7Actually, we just had our van serviced by the dealer and I asked about that very problem with the AC. I was told to first run lysol through all of the vents; from the outside to the inside ie spray into the air intake just in front of the front window and let the AC run at full blast with the fresh circulate on for about 10 min. and then turn off the AC and spray into each of the interior vents.
Finally, as a permanent solution you should shut off the AC about 5 min before you reach your destination (every time) and just run the fresh circulate. -
johnbender Posts: 17The shop installed brand new factory rotors and brake pads. I know that new brakes can sometimes be noisy, but they usually do not grind, they squeel and they smoke for a couple days. The noise the brakes are making now is a grinding noise, like metal grinding against the rotors. The noise only occurs when I apply the brakes and only about 50 percent of the time. Like I said, I inspected the pads and rotors myself, and they were all brand new. I am thinking the front brakes may have an inside pad as well that may be grinding. I asked the dealer about it and they were of no help whatsoever, they just said I would need to bring it in for them to look at. I saw on one other post board that some of the new chrysler mini vans do have pads on the inside and outside of the front brakes, so in essence each rotor has two pads on it. But I haven't had the time to take the tire off and check that out yet and being Sunday most shops are closed so I can't call around today.
joon Posts: 121I have a 97' Dodge Caravan 3.3 liter with 93,000 miles in it. I recently noticed that no water comes out when I push the windshield water handle. I checked and the hose that goes from the water tank to water dispenser is not clogged. In fact, when I push the windshield water handle, there is no suction from the hose (I asked my wife to push the handle while I checked the hose) although I can hear some sort of noise coming from under the water tank, which I assume is the electric pump. Has anybody had this problem before? How easy or difficult it is to try to fix this myself? How do I remove the windshield water tank and water pump? I am not very handy around cars.
Any suggestion is very appreciated. -
jjtj Posts: 103As far as I know, all disc braking systems have an inner & outer pad, and these sort of squeeze together against the rotor to stop the wheel from turning. Every time I've bought a set of pads, the box contains 4 pads. I can't imagine the shop not replacing all 4. Maybe the grinding is coming from your rear brakes? Or sometimes you'll get a thin layer of surface rust on the rotors after it rains.. this can cause grinding but usually goes away after a couple applications of the brakes, which clears the rust away. If the grinding started when the new front brakes were installed, I'd let the shop look at it and go from there.
ohmbudsman Posts: 2DEAD BATTERY SYNDROME
In a recent posting I failed to mention that after I arrived back home, I took my car to the Chrysler dealership. I had them check it out. They said the computer was malfunction probably. They would have to put a new one in. That they did. I drove the care for a couple of days and that one crashed. They then had to put a second computer in. That one worked. I only paid for the one and that was around $850.00. In addition to the battery! Has anyone else out there experienced a similar problem? -
frankiecrabs Posts: 2Hello, all.
In short, I have a 2003 grand caravan, bought used in Dec. 2003, with about 9300 miles on it, in good condition. Now, it's July 2005, mileage is about 47500, and I'm looking at getting my 3rd set of brakes, 3rd set of rotors, and perhaps calipers, hoses, etc., as well. First brake change at 30747 miles, involved pads and rotors. About 10000 miles later, I end up needing a second change at 40460 miles, which involved calipers, hoses, and pads; the left hand caliper seized intermittently before the change, creating a grinding noise. I average 2100 miles per month, mostly in local driving.
I previously owned a new 2001 Subaru Outback, put about 53000 miles on it in approximately 24 months [about 2200 miles/month], changed brakes 2 times, never changed rotors or calipers or anything else. My driving habits are no different between the two vehicles.
Question: Do the 2003 grand caravans have problems with their brakes? Maybe I have a clunker as far as the brakes are concerned? Beyond the brake issue, the van is essentially satisfactory.
Thank you,
Frank -
marine2 Posts: 1,155There have been several reports of poor or defective brake rotors on Chrysler products. This problem seems to be most prevalent on heavier vehicles. Replacing the original rotors with aftermarket ones seems to work well in most cases. Often, Chrysler will replace rotors under warranty, even though technically they may not be covered after the first year. You may have to push them a little, but do it.
jones5772 Posts: 1I recently bought a 2000 dodge caravan in Feb. this year. The van has 66000 miles on it and runs great. About a month ago the front passenger brake seem to start sticking(like it was dragging) so i went to auto zone they said it was the caliper or the brake line hose. Changed the caliper first......... worked fine for about four days,then brakes started the same thing so we changed the brake line hose, same result,... worked fine for a few days and started dragging again.So we put it in a locally owed mechanic shop and he said process of elimination he found the problem, it was the brake booster soooooooooo we had that changed exactly the same result. BRAKES STILL DRAGGING!!!! Can anyone help me with this problem?

tina16 Posts: 1Is anyone else having this problem? Our power sliding door, passenger side, has become very stiff to try to open and close manually for about a year now. The dealer keeps lubricating it and saying nothing is wrong, but it is VERY different than it used to be and VERY difficult for a woman or child to open or close. :mad:
I am so frustrated with the dealer. I called another service dept. and they said that had not had any problems with those. Any comments? -
plano_texas Posts: 3I have a 1998 Grand Caravan SE with the same problem discussed on this thread. The entire dash and console indicators, lights, and instruments come on/off intermittently (mostly off). My mechanic replaced the cluster with a used one from a wrecked van, but the problem persisted. BTW... finding the exact cluster, with the correct connector was not easy. Next, after an exhaustive search, we found a used Body Control Module. NOTE: replacing the BCM causes the odometer to read the mileage from the van that it came from. Putting the replacement BCM fixed the original problem, but caused a whole slew of new problems, including engine starting issues. The local Chrysler dealer told us that (for a price) they could flash the BCM to fix the problem, including correcting the mileage. Well... that didnt work either. The dealer then told us that they would have to order a new BCM, and that only the Chrysler factory could program the correct mileage. We received the new BCM a week later, and of course, they programmed it with 149,000 instead of 49,000. So... now we are waiting for the correctly programmed BCM to arrive. Will keep you posted. BTW... for a van with only 49K miles, this van has been in the shop more times than I can count. I am the original owner, have had all regular maintenance completed, gargage the van every night. Will never purchase another Chrysler product.
scamper225 Posts: 3i have a 93" grand voyager (le). most of the time it runs fine.butevery couple of days when im driving it it will sputter and make a popping niose in the motor area.
so of course i floor it. (usually happens in the middle of an intersection) it will do that until i get home. start the van back up, then it will run fine for a couple more days. i did a visual inspection of motor. everything looks o.k. (air filter, vaccum lines, fluids.) though maybe bad gas. put in fuel injection cleaner. nothing different. also when it happens it will lose power. rpm guage will go between 100-200 and then go back to normal. oil guage does same thing. especially when i put it in park after driving. not all the time (most) when this all happens i won't even get a CHECK ENGINE light if anyone can help me i would appreciate it vry much. thanks -

johnbender Posts: 17Well now I have a new problem with my 2001 chrysler voyager. The engine malfunction light came on, so I had the shop hook it up to the computer to see why the light is on and the computer said there was a problem with the brake switch. I called the dealer and the part is only about $15 but I was wondering if this was a job I could do myself. I know where the brake light switch is located and it doesn't look that hard to remove it and install a new one, but then again I know on some vehicles it involves bleeding the brakes and such. Has anyone else out there had this problem before with the brake light switch, if so were you able to replace it on your own?
johnnic Posts: 1I have a 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan whose wiper arms on the windshield occasionally hit each other while going back and forth. When this happens the blades are shot and once it even bent the driver side wiper arm. Anyone have this problem/know how to fix. I think that I have figured it out after them running fine through some rain storms and then it happens again.

amandak Posts: 1Ok...I have a 1990 Dodge Caravan that is having issues! Number one I was driving and it stalled out, before it stalled, I hit the gas pedal and it slowed down faster. After letting it rest for a few minutes, the van proceeded to start. The problem occured a few other times, but it always started. About a week ago it happened again, and it hasnt started since. We were told to replace the fuel filter. We did. We were told to replace the fuel pump. We did. To no avail. We changed the battery thinking that there just wasnt enough power in it to start the thing. Again, no success. We have been told to change the relay to the fuel pump, yet are having issues in finding the location of the object, so we can change it. The car seems to want to start but doesnt appear to be getting fuel to the engine. We do not hear the fuel pump start when we turn the key. The old fuel pump apparantly wasnt the problem either as it was tested after it was changed and it worked just fine. Can someone help me please!?!?!?!?!?!?!

The two major party candidates for Virginia governor squared off in an attack-laden second debate in Tysons Corner on Wednesday.
The tone of the debate was set early on when moderator Chuck Todd, NBC News political director, asked Democrat Terry McAuliffe and Republican Ken Cuccinelli to respond to the caricatures that have been painted of them by the other side. Both used a portion of their 90-second response to critique their opponent, rather than counter the attacks.
Libertarian candidate Robert Sarvis was not invited to participate in the debate sponsored by the Fairfax County Chamber of Commerce and NBC 4, despite his growing support in statewide polls.
"Tonight's debate was what everyone expected, a lot of negative attacks and very few ideas or solutions to the challenges Virginia faces," Sarvis said. "Voters aren't served by the recitation of talking points. It's unfortunate that Virginians couldn't hear a better view."
McAuliffe continued his attacks on Cuccinelli's record on social issues, as well as questioning the attorney general's ethics in relation to the Star Scientific gift scandal that has plagued Gov. Robert F. McDonnell (R) this year.
"There are consequences to this mean-spirited attack on women's health, on gay Virginians," McAuliffe said, repeating a popular Democratic campaign storyline about Cuccinelli's social agenda nearly scuttling a deal to lure Northrop Grumman's headquarters to Virginia.
Cuccinelli said during the debate that the Northrop Grumman story and the quote attributed to him about gay people being "self-destructive" are "unbelievably false." Both anecdotes are based on published media reports from major newspapers.
For his part, the attorney general continued to try and portray McAuliffe as a classic Washington, D.C., wheeler-dealer who is ignorant about the inner workings of state government and is only looking out for his own interests.
"If Terry is elected governor we're going to have to change the state motto from 'sic semper tyrannis' to 'quid pro quo,'" he said.
McAuliffe gave Cuccinelli an opening to further assail his inexperience with state government when he said he would sign legislation allowing gay marriage if it made it through the General Assembly and onto his desk.
Cuccinelli lectured his opponent on the process, which involves the General Assembly passing the amendment language in two successive legislative session before it goes to a voter referendum, before going on to reassert his opposition to gay marriage.
The candidates traded barbs over tax and spending policies as well.
McAuliffe declined to put a price tag on his proposals to inject more money into education. He said he hopes to have about $500 million to work with if the state accepts federal money to expand Medicaid, which McAuliffe believes would inject new life into the state's economy. He also says he would look for efficiencies in state government.
"If we don't get the Medicaid expansion, we can't bring in the efficiencies. … There's not money to be spent," McAuliffe said.
Cuccinelli also was not very specific, despite being pressed by the moderator, on how the state can afford his tax plan, which would reduce personal and business income taxes and remove an estimated $1.4 billion from state coffers. He says he would pay for it by eliminating 15 percent of tax exemptions and capping growth in state government.
Speaking with reporters after the debate, Cuccinelli said this plan would not be implemented in his first year in office.
"That's going to take a lot of information" to determine what tax exemptions to remove, he said. "It's going to take a year's worth of work."
Not surprisingly, both candidates say the other's plan is insufficient and will harm state government operations.
The debate closed with a "lightning round" of two quick questions posed by moderator Chuck Todd, including a question about eliminating the so-called "King's Dominion law" that mandates that school starts after Labor Day in most jurisdictions in the state.
McAuliffe said he would not support overturning it because "the tourism industry is too important." He said there are other tactics, such as longer school days, that could achieve the same goal, he said.
"Children outrank tourism," Cuccinelli retorted, noting that he had previously carried a bill seeking to overturn the law on behalf of the Fairfax County School Board.
The candidates will have one more debate before the Nov. 5 election, at Virginia Tech Oct. 24.

Line breaks: par|aly¦sisDefinition of paralysis in English:
noun ( plural paralyses /-siːz/)
- Traditional stroke symptoms were defined as loss of balance and paralysis of at least one part of the body.

late Old English, via Latin from Greek paralusis, from paraluesthai 'be disabled at the side', from para 'beside' + luein 'loosen'.
This is a Latin word, formed from Greek paraluesthai 'be disabled at the side', formed from para 'beside' and luein 'loosen'. Paralytic is late Middle English, and comes via French from the same source. The sense 'extremely drunk' dates from the late 19th century. Palsy (Middle English) is from Old French paralisie, which was an alteration of Latin paralysis. The Greek luein is also found in analysis (late 16th century) literally a 'loosening up'.

Speaker of the House John Boehner's past statements about whether the unofficial "majority of the majority" rule might be waived for immigration reform have ranged from potential openness to mostly dismissive, but now that the issue has come to a head, Boehner has laid down an unequivocal marker.
Boehner Says Immigration Reform Must Have the Support of a Majority of House Republicans |

The Most Important Decision for Immigration Reform Rests with Boehner |
By: Jon Walker Tuesday June 11, 2013 10:20 am |
The single most important development in immigration reform so far is that Speaker John Boehner (R) is open to breaking the "majority of the majority" rule on this issue. While Boehner didn't technically endorse the idea, when pressed on it in an interview with George Stephanopoulos, Boehner made sure to leave option on the table.
Boehner Again Breaks Majority of the Majority Principle For Sandy Relief |
By: Jon Walker Wednesday January 16, 2013 9:18 am |
Speaker Boehner's recent willingness to break the majority of the majority principle is likely making the Obama administration feel more confident about the debt limit standoff. If the House Republicans fold, it would most likely take the form of allowing a clean increase to come to the floor then having it approved with mostly Democratic votes.

Let's Stop Our Losing Streak
He is right...
When I clicked on the link for this story, I wasn't sure what I was going to find.
What I did find was the absolute truth.
Sportsmen like to talk about what's wrong; it is time for them to stop talking, walk away from their keyboards and do something.
My particular arena is salt water fisheries management. People are always quick to say that I and my colleagues should be trying to get this law passed, or change that regulations. But ask them to pitch in a couple of bucks to the cause, or donate a few hours to attend some meetings and write some letters or--the ultimate sacrifice--attend a hearing that happens to coincide with the October full moon--and they suddenly go silent and slink away.
On the coast, particularly, sportsmen have a lot to lose in the next couple of years, as the recreational and commercial fishing industries work in concert to castrate the conservation provisions of federal fisheries law. Anglers need to get mad and they need to get active; once stocks crash, it takes a long time to build them back again--if it is even possible to do so.
We can do better than just complain once it's too late.

Fire displaces local families
Friday, September 14, 2007
Craig It was a scene that changed dramatically from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursday.
Instead of a fire peaking through the north side of the 12-unit complex at the 485 Washington Street apartments, as it did in the morning, charred wood, broken windows, ash-strewn walkways and strong stench of smoke took its place in the afternoon.
Instead of tenants holding each other in solemn embraces, watching as their building burned, tenants were now coming back to the location with looks of resolve on their faces, seeking to salvage what they could.
And instead of onlookers stopping and parking their cars to get a better look at the building set ablaze, people were now stopping and approaching Dan Bingham, the Red Cross area lead, asking how they could help.
"I get a lot of people who are asking, 'what can we do?'" he said. "And you know, that's Craig. : We're going to need to help from the community on this. We really are."
The morning fire sent a female tenant and a firefighter to the hospital. The firefighter suffered minor injuries due to heat exhaustion, said Craig Fire/Rescue Chief Chris Nichols, and has been released. The woman's condition was not available due to privacy laws.
The fire also left 11 families without a place to call home.
"The entire place is condemned until further notice," Nichols said.
How the fire started cannot be verified, Nichols said, but it is believed that a personal oxygen tank - found inside the apartment of the woman who was transported to the hospital - was part of the cause.
The Fire Department and the Craig Police Department were alerted to the fire at 6:57 a.m. Nichols said the fire was under control by 8 a.m. and contained by 9 a.m.
Fifteen firefighters, three engines and two trucks responded to the scene.
Eight of the 12 units in the complex suffered heavy damage from the blaze, Nichols said.
No monetary estimates on how much damage the fire caused to the building or to people's personal property were available.
The Red Cross was on scene throughout the day, coordinating efforts for the fire victims.
By the afternoon, Bingham said all the families he contacted had found a place to temporally stay, though there were still a couple of more families that he needed to contact.
"The community has taken almost everyone in," he said
Bingham said the apartment complex owner was also looking at some of his other properties to possibly relocate the victims.
"We want to get everyone's deposit back as soon as possible and get all the information out on where they can stay," said Jim Dougherty, member manager of Jay and Jay Properties, the company who has owned the building since 2002.
With temporary housing and getting stability for the families coming together, the next step is helping them get on with their lives, Bingham said, as many of the families likely lost clothing and personal items.
Peggy Satterwhite of the Community Budget Center, 555 Yampa Ave., said the business is setting up a spot where people can donate items - from clothing to furniture - specifically for the families involved in the fire.
"They will be the collection point for clothing, pots and pans, bedding - everything that you need to live by," Bingham said. Some items families "are going to be desperate for" include clothing for a 2-year-old girl, "and everything that goes with that," he added.
He also noted a 5-year old girl was part of one of the families.
Bank of Colorado representatives have said a donation site has been set up at its location in the name of the "Washington Street fire."
Bingham said people can donate money to the Red Cross as well, at 120 Saturn Drive, Fort Collins, CO 80525.
The Red Cross is conducting victim interviews today to find out what the families will need, and will release that information afterward.
"All the tenants I've talked to just want to get back on their feet," Dougherty said. "And it was uplifting to see people just really want to get the problem solved."

Other than helping to find housing (which the private market took care of quickly), the Red Cross should never be needed in an apartment complex fire. These tenants should all be calling their insurance providers to get the cash necessary to replace their belongings. But let me guess, none of them could afford renters insurance although it only costs about $200 per year. Living is a responsibility, especially when you have children. Look at the position they're in now becuase of their lack of concern for their own well being and safety. I bet all these people had really nice TV's and cell phones though.
wagontrain79 7 years, 4 months ago
This is in response to the ignorant comment left by "however"! I can easily see why this individual remains anonymous, He/She can not face others when talking about them! It is easy for someone not in the situation to critisize what they do not know. I personaly have family that was affected by this fire and they are nothing like what you describe. Have you ever lost everything? Well they did! Have you walked in their shoes? Do you know how important that $200 dollars a year can be to some families, in some cases that 15 or 20 dollars a month may mean a whole lot. It is easy to critisize when you are not affected or when you are in a situation where paying out money is not a burden. I hope you or those you know and love are never subject to a loss of this kind and that if you are you find help from those with a true heart and not just rude comments from those like you. Next time you should think before you open your mouth.
gramdee44 7 years, 4 months ago
Thank-you wagontrain79. My grandson was also amoung the tenants that lost everything. The things he treasured could not be replaced by renters insurance. He did get a few treasures out, but lost most of his house hold things and clothes are damaged I think beyond repair.. I have owned my home for over 30 years so I never thought of mentioning renters insurance to him. When I was young I rented and never thought of insuring the few things I had. Life teaches us lots of lesson.....I feel sorry for that person we only know as 'however' aparently that person hasn't learned the lesson of kindness. All we can do is feel sorry for the poor sole!! I wish the best to all these folk in their time of loss. All my thought are with them.....keep you chins up and lets hope each new day will get better for you. Sending lots of love to you all Gramma DEE
PJ Howe 7 years, 4 months ago
Absolutely amazing. Lets completely resolve all responsibility to these families. Its great they live in a community that will replace their poor life planning. A comminuty that will step up and give them the things they should be going out and buying new from their insurance money. I've been in much worse financial situations then those in that building, and always, always carried renters, homeowners, auto, life and health insurance. The sacrifices we made to be able to do that were great. The money can be found to purchase these necessities, it depends on what their priorities are. Obviously, their priorities lay elsewhere. I bet they don't get renters insurance in the future either.

Sodden outfield prevents play at Cheltenham
There was no play on day three of the LV= County Championship match between Gloucestershire and Essex at Cheltenham.
Although the weather had been dry, so much rain fell the previous day that there was not sufficient chance for the soaked outfield to recover.
With the sun shining and some people in the crowd expressing displeasure over the wait for play, the umpires invited one spectator onto the playing area to see for himself that conditions were unfit. The abandonment of play soon followed at 3pm.
Gloucestershire were due to resume their first innings on 284 for four.

I'm Kahi Lee and visiting the Yorks. I'm here to show you and them that all it takes to make your bathroom a little bit greener are a few simple steps. All right, Michelle, first things first, let's get rid of this countertop that you dislike so much. And to help us is my friend, Al.
Nice to meet you, Al.
And so, Al, what's up? What do we do?
Okay. I disconnected everything underneath, which consists of taking out a few screws, disconnecting the hot and cold water,--
and taking the drain pipe off.
So, if you get on that end,--
All right.
you get on this side,--
All right.
lift the front end, and then just lift it up high enough to get the sink over the edge of the cabinet.
Okie dokie.
Okay. Michelle, next step.
We are going to update the vanity here.
So, a very green thing to do is instead of replacing an entire vanity,--
which will then go to the landfill, we're just going to replace they key elements,--
which I think are just the fronts here. All right. So, we have your existing sink and a brand new faucet, which has an air restrictor and an aerator. So, it's a low-flow faucet. We're gonna save water, which means you're gonna save money and you're also going to help the environment. Doesn't that feel good?
So, is this easy to put on?
Very easy.
Is that the last piece?
That's it.
All right. So, it's ready to go in the bathroom?
Yes it is.
Take it in there. Wow, a perfect fit.
Looks great.
It looks amazing. A complete update, and it's eco-friendly.
Yes it is.
Okay. Now, it's time to address the toilet. Are you sure you don't wanna keep it?
I'm sure.
So, what do we do here?
How can I be of assistance?
I already disconnected everything.
I unbolted it from the floor. I shut off the water, drained it. All we have to do is lift it up. If you could help me carry it out.
Absolutely. All right, Michelle, we got rid of your green-colored toilet, your outdated one, 'cause that's
a bad kind of green. This is a good kind of green. It's an eco-friendly kind of green. And if you'll notice, it will say-- it says right here on the side of the box, Class Five HET.
And that means it's a high efficiency toilet, 1.28 gallons per flush, which is really good. Right?
It's great.
Your old one was five gallons.
So, it's a big reduction there.
All right.
Ready? Here we go.
I have never applauded a toilet flush before, but that deserved it.
Good job, Al.
Hope you like it.
Pretty quick, painless, right?
All right. So, should we finish up?
All right.
All right.
Let's move on.
Thanks Al.
Okay, Michelle, it's the fun part. It's the accessorizing.
So, go ahead and put those down. We've got the toothpaste holder, the soap dispenser, the tissue box, and of course, we had to throw in some organic towels.
New organic towels.
They're super soft, organically grown, no pesticides, nontoxic. Stylish, updated, and eco-friendly.
Yeah. It looks great. I'm going to have to get some all natural bath soaps to go in here.
Absolutely. You can start your whole new green lifestyle just from here.
Yes. I'm so excited. I love it. Everything looks beautiful.
Yeah, wow, huh?
[unknown] everything.
What do you think? Big difference?
Huge difference.
It looks amazing.
It looks amazing, should feel amazing. Organic towels.
I know. Look at this.
Wow, what a difference.
Stylish, eco-friendly.
No more green toilet.
No more green toilet.
Easy, right?
Easy and faster than you would think.
Uh-huh. Thank you so much. Looks fantastic.
You guys are very welcome.
